2022 Ratings: Early Season Warrior

Athletes competed in the early morning heat, traversing from Starck’s Stretch to Pacebreaker Hill, out towards O’Neil’s Outback, then finally making their way towards the finish.

Boys Adjustment: -62
Girls Adjustment: -78

Especially with these mid-morning, August meets, expect a bit more of a differential between the two. As the day heats up, times slow down.

EARLY SEASON WARRIORS

Reed City Boys: Living up to their early season ranking with a victory. It appears that Gus Rohde and Anthony Kiaunis will lead the way up front. Paul Saladin and Anthony Allen are two freshman that competed admirably in their first HS race ever. Those two may solidify the back end, necessary for high finishes down the road.

Shepherd Girls: Carley Lynch is back and we know Ariel Warner, Jolie Fisher, and Elle Himebaugh will be reliable all year. But the kicker is their whole seven. Madison Gimmey and Gracie Warner both ran considerably faster than they did last year, Megan Gimmey was right there with them as well. The prior two both ran in the 21’s last year and if you extrapolate towards October, you come up with a team capable of displacing many competitors.

Owen Westerkamp, Big Rapids: Owen had run the post-Regional meet here in 2021, but other than that, zero cross country experience in the past four years. This past spring, he was a star for the Cardinals, winning Region 11’s 800m, hitting 1:58.3 as his best. Chippewa Hills is certainly no track, so it appears that his talent translates to longer distances. I’m curious to see his progress throughout the year.

Larissa McGrath, Cedar Springs: Larissa had made a significant step forward as a junior in cross, breaking 20:00 for the first time, actually doing so on multiple occasions. One of those races was at the Allendale Regional, where she placed 13th, extending her season by another week. Playing the ol’ comparison game, she ran 21:28 here last year, 20:32 this time around.
